movies:- weekend at bernie's (1989) so many questions with this movie. didn't people notice the smell? the cold skin? aren't people supposed to decompose fairly quickly when they die? the fact that all of the above was ignored just makes this only-in-the-80s classic even funnier. i have this weird memory from when the sequel was released. we were living in watt st, thornbury (where do you live? watt st. yeah that's what i'm asking, what street? WATT ST. WHAT'S THE STREET NAME? IT'S FREAKIN' WATT ST.) & a radio station was doing one of those random promo giveaways outside our house. we were the only household in the street willing to sacrifice our dignity to go on the air answering stupid questions to win prizes. we didn't know the answers to anything, they were asking things about kim wilde or some shit, but they gave us prizes anyway. double passes to weekend at bernie's 2, chips, cds & soft drinks, HOORAY.
- growing pains (1985-92) season one, eps 8-9. fun fact: the mum has a baby during the fourth season & i guess the writers got a little bored of writing baby/toddler storylines, because the kid ended the fifth season a toddler & started the sixth season as a six year old.
- murder, she wrote (1984-96) season one, ep 2. oh man, so i hear there's a recent murder, she wrote pc game. on it.
- tales from the darkside (1983-88) season one, eps 1-4. episode 2 has a man selling his soul to a friend for a million dollars & i of course thought of that episode of the simpsons where bart sells his soul to milhouse. it's such a classic storyline, i wonder where it originated.
- amazing stories (1985-87) season one, eps 1-8. a fantasy, sci-fi & horror anthology show created by steven spielberg, something i’d never watched, but heard a bit about from time to time. i finally bothered to track it down for the purposes of this month & as it turns out, love the crap out of it. quite a few famous directors & actors were involved in episodes & it has somewhat higher production values than some similar shows than ran through the 80s (tales from the crypt, tales from the darkside, freddy’s nightmares etc.). a thoroughly engrossing show (some eps more than others, as with any show), evident in the fact that i postponed my planned movies for the night to smash out 8 episodes instead.
